Re: [BardonPraxis] About the Soul Mirror

["Regulus Magus" <RegulusMagus@...>]

Dear Maximiliano:

I too am working on my soul mirrors. The approach that I have chosen is to 
remember particular behaviors. As a (fictitious) example, I might write 
something like the following: "Last month I stole the desert off my wife's 
plate while she was out of the room and then blamed it on the dog." I then 
focus on that anecdotal evidence of a dark trait and try to describe what it 
was about the behavior that I feel was wrong. For example; greed, selfishness, 
dishonesty and so on. But more important than the labels is my recollection of 
how I felt at the time my dark trait surfaced. If (when I grabbed the desert) I 
felt like I was hoarding a treasure then I would characterize this fault as an 
Earth trait. If, on the other hand, I took a perverse pleasure in the 
cleverness of my deception then I would characterize my behavioras an Air 
trait. Do you see what I am getting at?

I find that sometimes it is hard to name or precisely articulate specific 
traits. By focusing on behavioral anecdotes and the associated inner "feel" of 
the behavior, I am able to sidestep the often confusing problem of naming 
things. So what does my soul mirror look like? Well, instead of greed, anger, 
arrogance, etc., I have things like "Behavior #17, a medium level fault - 
mostly Earth with a touch of Air."

Caveat: I am too new at this to know if this is a good approach - it was just 
something that developed naturally as I began the work.

Sincerely, /RM/

Subject: [BardonPraxis] About the Soul Mirror



I´m startig the soul mirror for the second time because after speaking to Rawn 
I realized that I just listed down like 200 traits but I wasn´t aware that I 
should look for the "roots"!! 
I have worked with it for two days till I came to realize that I don´t know 
what a root is! 
Can anybody give me an EXAMPLE of how you´ve found a root?
Can "beliefs" count as a root? example: "money is evil", thos leads to judging 
rich people..etc. In this case is the primary belief the root of the other 
trais??
If it is, it strikes me that most of our traits are born from our beliefs, 
education. Aren´t they? Should we be looking for this things??
Thanks
